Episode 9: Finding Where I Belong
When you leave a long chapter of your career, you don’t just leave a job. You leave a tribe.
For almost three decades, my community was built into my life automatically — the people I saw every day, solved problems with, learned from. And when that structure changes, you start asking a different question. Not “What do I do next?” but “Where do I belong now?”
In this episode, I take you through three recent moments — learning to be present after years of half-listening, missing my team and discovering the belonging was changed but still there, and walking into a room full of strangers and finding a new belonging.
This is about a hidden part of reinvention no one warns you about: rebuilding not just a career, but a sense of belonging — one conversation at a time.
